Swiss Cheese Fondue

Swiss custom dictates that, guests who lose their bread in the fondue pot must kiss the first person of the opposite sex on their left.

1 large clove of garlic

1 cup dry white wine (chardonnay)

2/3 pound Emmentaler Swiss cheese cubed

2/3 pound Gruyere Swiss cheese cubed

1 TBS corn starch

¼ cup kirsch

Pepper

Nutmeg

Juice of ½ lemon

1 large crusty French bread cut into one inch cubes

Rub the garlic on the inside of the sauce pan. Add the wine, place on burner and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and add the cheese and the lemon. Heat until the cheese is melted, stirring slowly and continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Dissolve the corn starch in the kirsch and add the mixture to the cheese. Season with pepper and nutmeg. Continue to stir until the fondue is smooth. Transfer to fondue pot, and enjoy.
